Port Harcourt
For six years I have run a laundry service in Port Harcourt. In April, a long illness and repossession took two washing machines and a dryer. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 5 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $500 goes: • Replacing two washing machines and a dryer: $320 • Initial stock: detergent and packaging: $60 • Shop repairs and licensing: $65 • Working capital for the first month: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Lola

        Thanks for sharing this, Lola. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
